Synopsis:
Exploring the natural relationship between music and other arts, the authors link music to poetry through the art of song, to dance through ballet, to drama through opera, to literary and visual imagery through programme music, to architecture through the settings of musical performances. With regard to the historical development of music, the authors demonstrate that the stylistic trends that affect music often effect similar stylistic changes in architecture, sculpture, painting and literature. From this perspective they trace the function of music in the arts from ancient Greek times to contemporary computer determinism.
